I got a bunchof training targets and this one I can't guess how to use it. Has any of you ever used one? How?

That didn't work either but I managed to clean up the chaff in the link, at least.

Sorry, no idea how to train on that one!

I cannot imagine what that target would be used for.

There is too much detail, pulling the focus from the sights to the target.

Are you sure it isn't just a "novelty" target for use in fun shoots at Christmas.

Rotate 90degree CW and it looks like it could serve as a good POI centerhold training guide. match rear sights with black, obscure center with front sight.

These targets are used to eliminate vertical and horizontal error. The triangular target is used for eliminating canting.

Have you looked at the target the OP was asking about. It isn't one of the Kruger ones.

Thanks for correcting me, I retried the link and was finally able to finally see the target. It’s going to become a challenge but I’m very interested now to find out what this is used for

That seems to be everybody's best guess :) Too bad nobody knows.

No clue. I gotthem in my range. They came from a shooter that had stopped shooting because of health reasons, but I did not get them directly from him.

I tried to find info from the lettering and digits at the top left of the target, to no avail.
IGM/D.S.Gx refers to come clothing, but then from Belgium, at least.
125.000 targets appear to have been printed.
But the digits 6920 - 85 - 000 - 5477 refers to some road stretch, in Brazil... More likely a production run number.

For center hold excercises? Maybe.

That's it then, designed to make the shooter go bonkers.
